Hi Jeremy
if you use impress and you need notes so select the 3rd tab ahead the
slide. In the slideshow nobody will see your notes. If you will print
the slide with the notes so select in the combobox in the printer window
in the area content "notes".

Anyone know how to add "instructor" notes to Openoffice.org Impress slides
for my own use but not displayed to overhead or printed for students?

Method 1: Above the slides, as you create them, there are 5 tabs. The
center tab is titled "Notes" and can be used for such.
Okay, I see that. In fact, some notes have already been added. (As you can
imagine I am really a beginner with impress :) I do have lots of
experience is with LaTeX, Beamer, LyX, HTML, and other formats for
generating overhead presentations and print handouts.)
Method 2: Try typing notes in the space below the slide. I tried it
and the notes remained visible to me, but did not show in slideshow
mode.
I don't see that yet though. By laptop display shows the slide but not my
notes. I need to figure out the multiple monitor setup as maybe that is
related. Any other configurations related to this "notes" in openoffice?
Since I don't have the overhead video projection here, I will test by
plugging in an external monitor.
I am using X.org's intel driver. I am using openoffice2-2.4.2nb4 from
pkgsrc. (OpenOffice.org 3 didn't work with the impress documented created
and maintained in OpenOffice.org 2 by someone else. I will try to make a
simple test case and report that separately.)
I also want to print the "notes" for the instructor's own materials. I
tried using both export PDF and file->Print and chose the notes, but
didn't see them.
I now see the Handout tab and the format is two slides (one above the
other) per printed sheet. Maybe for notes printout, I'd like to have one
slide per page shown at top half of paper and then the notes (if any)
printed on bottom half of same page. Any suggestions on this?
I found some docs. I am currently looking at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Impress_Guide/Controlling_printing
and
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Impress_Guide/Adding_and_formatting_notes
(which maybe has a typo as says to see chapter 9 for more printing details
but I think it should be chapter 10) and nearby pages.
I also received some other emails offlist. Thank you all who shared some
ideas.
